I have a 2005 XC90 2.5T FWD that currently has 276K miles. I bought it with 200K miles. Crazy? Maybe, but it ran better than all the other cars I test drove with half the miles.

It has some issues, don't get me wrong, but still kicking. Here's a list of current things...
1. Oil leak - big job, frankly it's easier to just keep oil in it.
2. Noisy front shock tower mount - have parts, need time to fix.
3. Anti skid service needed - either yaw sensor or clock spring. Not sure I'll mess with it.
4. Thermostat codes - currently replacing, stripped the bottom torx bolt. I hate torx bolts.

Things I've had to work on...
1. Serviced PCV system.
2. PEM / Fuel Control Unit (replaced the fuel pump, fuel pressure sensor, and fuel filter along the way.
3. Timing belt.
4. Power steering pump (was actually the alternator pulley making noise so the pump was fine).
5. Alternator - see above.
6. Drivers side front shock mount.
7. 3rd brake light (top one) due to crack in the lens.
8. Cleaned the throttle body.
9. Brakes, oil, a few other odds and ends.
10. Almost forgot, did a drain and refill on the transmission too. Still shifts smooth.

It's been a really good vehicle. We even hauled a 22' speed boat with it for a few seasons. I've had to do some work on it, but not as much as I expected. A lot of what I did was preventative work.

The 2.5T version of the XC90 seems to be a bit more stable and reliable than the T6 or V8 versions. So with some general maintenance and a bit of TLC I'd bet on another 100K. But, literally, YMMV.

Good luck!
